Mehidy Hasan's late blitz enabled Bangladesh beat India by one wicket in a nail-biting climax at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium. Bangladesh now leads the three-match One-Day International series 1-0.
Litton Das, Bangladesh's captain, won the toss and chose to bowl first. India's innings began steadily, with Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan hitting the ball around. Dhawan was uncomfortable at the crease and was the first to go after scoring only 7 runs off 17 deliveries.
Shakib Al Hasan had his first wicket of the day, dismissing the dangerous Rohit Sharma for 27. Virat Kohli was the next to go, giving Litton Das a catch at extra cover. Shreyas Iyer looked well for a while but couldn't convert his start into a big total, leaving with 24 runs off 39 balls.

Ebadot Hossain took his second wicket of the day after dismissing Shahbaz Ahmed.
Before being removed by Hossain, Rahul hit 73 runs off 70 balls, including five boundaries and four sixes. Mohammad Siraj scored 9 runs off 20 balls before Hossain took his fourth wicket of the day and bowled India out for 186 runs in 41.2 overs.
